Marine AFC from Liverpool will be promoting their support of KitAid over the Christmas and New Year period - a perfect time for clearing out no longer wanted football kit to donate to those who have very little across the World. With support from BBC Radio Merseyside, they are expecting a good response from their fans and local people in the area.

Thanks to all at Marine FC and the EvoStik Northern Premier League for your support of KitAid. Really appreciate it and your help will really make a difference to some of the poorest people in the world who really have so little but love football just as much as we do.

We donated 17 football strips to the RSVP charity, Rwanda. They were presented to Mihaburu School in time for an inter-schools match.

"A big thank you to you from all the children on behalf of RSVP"- Jean Main

And KitAid's thanks go to Hemel Aces YFC who have supplied a lot of the kit and especially to Kenny Lawrence who has been really helpful to KitAid. He lent us the van and drove Derrick Williams up to Manchester recently for the FC United collection.

This little boy in a tattered Liverpool shirt was the catalyst to KitAid in 1998. Following a trip to Tanzania with WaterAid by Derrick Williams, KitAid was formed and the charity has grown steadily over the years from sending one box to the tiny village in Tanzania to this year donating 100,000 football kits to children and adults in some of the poorest countries in the World.

Many of these kits have been loved by children and adults in the UK and are now being loved again by people, thousands of miles away. Bringing us together is the passion for football and big smiles on our faces.
